Hard drive maker Seagate continues to try and persuade consumers that add-on drives aren't just for geeks but for everyone. It's latest attempt is the compact and eminently palm-able Go, part of its FreeAgent line up of external hard drives... er... "data movers".

Power

The double headed cable is only provided for use with systems that can't provide enough power over a single USB port. So far I've not found a system that wont power it through just the Data connection, this includes a Thinkpad and a Vaio and various desktops

Some things worth mentioning.

Personally, I like the brown and orange as it reminds me of the colour scheme used with very old ICL kit.

You neglected to point out that all freeagent drives have a limited 5 year warranty, which most don't. (you don't mention this on the review of the larger drive either!).

And finally, you only need to use the first of the double ended USB cable connections - the second is used with it when you have USB ports that won't give enough juice. This is useful as it saves having to use an external power supply.

Months ago I bought a WD 160gb Passport which is just as small, if not smaller. It came with the single headed cable (which is all I have ever needed). And the big catch is even back then it was a mere $107 at Best Buy, a retail store. I am sure I could have saved more if I could have waited and got it online.
